Home Ice: The Pla-Mor Ice Palace was no longer a possible arena to use as it had closed, so an effort was made to have the Blues play in Municipal Auditorium.

Years from: 1974 to: 1976 League: National Hockey LeagueHistory: The first NHL Franchise in Kansas City was to be named the MO-Hawks, but was rejected and never used.

The Mo-Hawks was rejected by the League and Chicago Black Hawks. The Scouts nickname was inspired by famous Kansas City "Scout" statue in Penn Valley Park that overlooks Kansas City. The team logo bears the image of the Scout statue. The average salary for an NHL player in 1972 was $33,000...and by the time KC got a team three years later, the average salary was three times that at $99,000! At the time when KC had the Scouts, they were ONE of ONLY EIGHT cities in the United States with FOUR major sports teams for baseball, football, hockey and basketball! (KC had the Chiefs, Royals, Kings and Scouts) The Scouts Steve Durbano set a record (which still stands) for the most penalty minutes during the 1975-76 season at 209 minutes! Kemper Arena opens on Nov. 2, 1974 with the Scouts losing 4-3 to the Chicago Blackhawks, with 15,000 in attendance. The Scouts earned their first home victory defeating the Washington Capitals 5-4 on November 3, 1974 at Kemper Arena. The Scouts later moved to Denver to be renamed the Colorado Rockies (before the Major League Baseball Colorado Rockies!)....which later moved to New Jersey and was renamed the New Jersey Devils.
